I've been cleaning my studio like a crazy lady most of yesterday and today. I cannot express just how excited I am with how much more awesome my drawing area is now.

I realized a few days ago that I'm still living like a college student/kid - I do most of my living in a single room, which is my studio/office (opposite problem of many creators, who have to create in their living spaces). I'm trying to decompress - within the studio/office I've separated the areas where I do officey things and areas where I do arting type things. I'm also trying to clear out anything that is not directly related to either of those categories.

Will post more photos when I've finished cleaning/organizing, I hope.

from the 1940s. This belonged to my grandmother, then my mother, now me. It has to hang next to the chenile candy cane.

Our christmas tree for 2008-2009 winter season - we usually put it up within two to three days of Christmas and keep it up often through the end of January. If you keep it watered after you first put it in the stand, and add an occasional teaspoon of sugar, it will stay fresh for over a month. This is also our second year of all-LED lights with over 30 years of collected ornaments - going back to Katherine and my's first tree in Houston in 1975, with our first bought ornaments.

Silver bell garland on the yule tree. I like how the branches are in sharper focus than the bells.

from my mother's collection.

Details fudged to protect the not-so-innocent, of course.

He used to say "Ho, ho, ho!" but his battery is fading. Sounds more like a rat-tat-tat now...concerning.

For the 365 Days Project.

Taken and sent from my iPhone.
